For Closed-Loop and Open-Loop Operation, HD Sub-D 26, 48 V

Mercury Step controller for 2-phase stepper motors

1 axis. Microstep resolution: 1/2048 full step. Closed-loop operation. Point-to-point motion, trapezoidal velocity profile.

Networkable via daisy chain.

Encoder inputs

Differential signal transmission for digital (A/B) encoder signals. TTL inputs for limit and reference point switches. Input for

RS-422 signals for index switch.

Interfaces

USB and RS-232 for commanding. I/O lines (analog/digital) for automation. Interface for analog joystick.

Extensive functions, software support

Powerful macro command language. Nonvolatile macro storage, e.g., for stand-alone operation with autostart macro. Data

recorder. ID chip detection for fast startup. PID controller, parameter changing during operation. Extensive software support,

e.g., for NI LabVIEW, C, C++, MATLAB, Python. PIMikroMove user software.
